Thanks - I also wanted to inquire about other incidents - the Pacific oysters scandal, for example, or the refusal to pre-empt in support of the ITC, or the matter of some tinners who wanted to bound an old quarry.

The first instance that comes to mind is the refusal to issue writs for the election of Stannators to the respective Corporations of Stannary Towns. What exactly was the chronology of this? I've a feeling this may have in fact started in 1974.

I'm trying to draw up a list, chapter and verse, of the above individual's activities. Over the coming weeks, I'm going to post some details that have come to hand. I'll be more than grateful if you can correct errors and remedy omissions.
